Does it interchange with any other Chevy models? 1st gen Camaro for example?

Not that I have found yet qtr window might but the same pivot will be different or the inside locking catch again with be different ie 67-68 units are different .

Any chance a new part could be CNC'ed to get it working again?

Even back then Chevy had common parts bins across the models, I'd be really surprised to find another model didn't interchange. If you can find out what it would make sourcing the part easier. Maybe Impala?

Following on from Dans suggestion, how about someone offering a 3D printing service?

Great ideas so far,

You could always pick up a Hollander Interchange manual to find alternative cars.
Or maybe try Hollanders web site?

Take wots left of old one to a fab shop get them to make a new one. Get them to make 4 and a half pairs the half side that you need sell the remaining 4 pairs on to recoup the cost

Thats a good idea. Especially as they are hard to get hold off. Someone will need them one day like Darren did.
